I agree about the nicer-looking part. My 187 is entirely goldbrass, with only the slide tubes, ferrules,guard plates, and wreath made from nickel silver. Compared to the yellowbrass 187 that I tested, which sounded like a big 186, the 187 had a lot more color with a darker, warmer quality. However, the price(I got mine used, fortunately)new is about like a yellowbrass 188, probably due to the metal.(They also add a few gadgets such as a slide kicker to the goldbrass model.)
